The initial objective of the study was to evaluate different operation modes (sweep and normal) and frequencies (25 and 130 kHz) of ultrasound in pre-chilling of breast chicken cylinders (BCC) immersed in water at 10 °C during 10 min. The second objective was to study the effect of the immersion time (5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 min) using the best operation mode and frequency obtained in the pre-chilling of the BCC in water at 10 °C. Pre-chilling was evaluated in both stages by infrared thermography, and the percentages of water absorption were determined in the second stage. The application of US at 130 kHz and normal operation mode provided a reduction of temperature on the surface of BBC higher (≈19.6%) than untreated samples. Also, compared to control, the US-treated samples in these conditions presented a more uniform cooling rate (≈22.3%) and higher water absorption (≈113%).

The patient an 85-year-old female resided in a care facility where she maintained an independent daily activity level. She was discovered hunched over a table in her room, displaying reduced responsiveness and prompting an emergency call. Initially, her blood pressure was within 60 mmHg, and she was transported by ambulance to our hospital.

This study investigates the molecular responses to heat stroke in young and old patients by comparing whole-genome transcriptomes between age groups. We analyzed transcriptomic profiles from patients categorized into two age-defined cohorts: young (mean age = 44.9 ± 6 years) and old (mean age = 66.

Research Center for Intelligent and Wearable Technology, College of Textiles and Clothing, State Key Laboratory of Bio-Fibers and Eco-Textiles, Health&Protective Smart Textile Research Center of Qingdao, Qingdao University, Qingdao, 266071, People's Republic of China.

Rehabilitation training is believed to be an effectual strategy that can reduce the risk of dysfunction caused by spasticity. However, achieving visualization rehabilitation training for patients remains clinically challenging. Herein, we propose visual rehabilitation training system including iontronic meta-fabrics with skin-friendly and large matrix features, as well as high-resolution image modules for distribution of human muscle tension.

Postsynthetic Size Focusing via Digestive Ripening in HgTe Quantum Dots.

J Phys Chem Lett

December 2024

School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Science, Hangzhou 310024, China.

Size uniformity in colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) critically influences their electronic properties. However, achieving precise size control remains challenging for mercury chalcogenide systems. We demonstrate that a postsynthetic reheating treatment with the addition of dodecanethiol (DDT) ligands, consistent with a digestive ripening mechanism, effectively narrows the size distribution of HgTe CQDs from 12% to 6%, accompanied by enhanced crystallinity and sharper absorption features.

The presence of AlCuFe particles, formed due to Fe impurities in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys, significantly impacts mechanical properties and formability, which is crucial for the use of these alloys in the automotive and aerospace industries. In this study, we prepared Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-based alloy sheets with large (LF), small (SF), and no (NF) AlCuFe particles to explore their effects on recrystallization and mechanical behavior. These sheets were fabricated using controlled cooling rates and subsequent thermo-mechanical processing.
